Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the two quarters ended July 1, 2015 was 35.8%, compared to 33.3% for the two quarters ended June 25, 2014. The increase in the effective rate is primarily related to discrete tax items. The 2015 and 2014 rates benefited from state jobs tax credits claimed for the prior year's hiring activity of 0.9% and 2.1%, respectively. In addition, the 2014 rate benefited 2.1% from an out-of-period share-based compensation adjustment. We do not believe the out-of-period adjustment was material to any prior year financial statements or on earnings trends.
